Bio

I was born in Eugene, Oregon in 1962. My family moved many times during my life. My dad was a pastor and would often start new churches, which meant leaving the town we were in.

I meet my husband Delvin in 1977 and married in 1979. We have been married for 38 years. I have two sons Casey and Jay. I have 3 grandchildren.

I have taught for 22 years. During this time I have been a coach and an advisor.

I coached junior high volleyball for 2 years, which was very exciting. I coached junior high cheerleading for 2 years as well, but decided to give it up when coaching junior high and high school cheerleading became to much.

I coached high school cheerleading for 9 years and received several awards from camps we attended. I also coached drill team for nine years, during which time my girls took second place in the first ever state competition for spirit.

I have been a class advisor 3 times, all three for seniors. This meant getting everything ready for graduation which we did.

I was the building rep for the union for 7 years, and this year began being the rep again. It is an under taking that at times has been challenging. I was the elementary schools PLC leader as well as on the PLC A team.

I love teaching my students! My favorite subject is reading, if we can read we can achieve!
